Well, I think Andrew Barron and Colin Klein have this paper about insects and the origin of consciousness. And another one called Insects Have the Capacity for Subjective Experience. And their case is based on the idea that what they have is this integrative model of the agent in space where they model the environment around them. That may be prospection on a very short timescale, I suppose.
